Chapter 431: Flower Appreciation
Hearing that Su Zhenzhen was going back, the Ninth Princess was subconsciously a little reluctant, so she asked, "It's getting dark, why don't you stay and rest for the night?" It's strange to miss it if you don't see it for a few days. Su Zhenzhen heard the words of the ninth princess to stay, looked down and saw that the child was grabbing the corner of her clothes and shaking, thinking that Heng'er was afraid or wanted to go home, but she didn't know how to refuse.
Concubine Xian knew that Su Zhenzhen was taking her child and felt that there were many rules in the palace and it was inconvenient, and when she saw that she was in trouble, she smiled and said: "Jiu'er, don't want to trouble your sister Zhenzhen, it's hard to be idle, and you have to stay in this palace for the New Year, how can there be this?" The ninth princess touched her nose and knew that something was wrong, so she smiled and said coquettishly: "I just like Sister Zhen too much!" ”
Concubine Xian shook her head with a smile, and said helplessly: "Then don't let people go back, it's really inconvenient if it's too late." By the way, didn't you say that you have any gifts for Heng'er? What about things? ”
Only then did the Ninth Princess remember that she had almost forgotten about this matter, and immediately called: "Ah Bi, quickly put the things that the palace handed over to you in the morning in a small box!" He turned his head and said to Su Zhenzhen embarrassedly, "Sister Zhenzhen, wait a moment." Su Zhenzhen replied with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry for this half moment, then thank you Ah Jiu." I have sent a maid to the palace for Ah Jiu's New Year's gift, and I can see it when I go back. ”
After a while, Abi wrapped a handkerchief in a palm-sized box and handed it over. The ninth princess stuffed the box into Heng'er's hand, touched Heng'er's head and said, "Heng'er is a year older again, and I have to listen to A-Niang at home." This is a New Year's gift from Aunt Jiu, go home and look at it, you can't open it now. ”
The child nodded, and said in a milky voice: "Got it, thank you Aunt Jiu, I wish Aunt Jiu good health and a happy festival." Everyone laughed when they saw that he was smart and clever. After saying goodbye, Su Zhenzhen carried the child into the carriage. Along the way, the child curiously played with the delicate wooden box, and the hesitant appearance of wanting to open it amused Su Zhenzhen, who had been observing the child's expression.
"Heng'er can open it if you want to, the ninth princess will tease you." Su Zhenzhen saw him shake his head, and heard him say, "Heng'er promised Aunt Jiu, and the eldest husband is true to his word." At this time, Su Zhenzhen laughed, "Then Heng'er handed me the box, and I will open it, and you will not break your promise." ”
After all, he was still a child, and he was curious, and after listening to Su Zhenzhen's words, he thought about it and seemed to think that it made sense, so he reached out and handed the box over. When she opened it, she was covered in round, black seeds. The child took a closer look and asked, "A-Niang, what kind of seed is this?" Su Zhenzhen knew that what the princess gave was definitely not an ordinary thing, looking at the seeds like peony flowers.
Some time ago, there were a few new "Qinglong Lying Ink Pools" in the Imperial Garden, with yellow-green leaves and purple halos. The pistil is green in the center of the flower, and the purple petals around it are like a green dragon lying in the center of the inkwell, which is very interesting. Not only did Heng'er like it, but she also felt that it was rare, and at that time, the ninth princess wanted to beg the emperor for two, but was told that it had been set by the queen mother.
Thinking that this was probably the flower seed, Su Zhenzhen deliberately wanted to surprise Heng'er, but said that this thing was extraordinary, put it away, and wait for it to be planted and take a look.
Knowing that Su Zhenzhen would not tell him easily, the child was very obedient and stopped asking, and only nestled in Su Zhenzhen's arms and listened to her tell a few small stories. Along the way, Su Zhenzhen talked a lot with the child, including parents and trivial matters, until the child asked about his father, and the smile on Su Zhenzhen's face faded.
"Heng'er, your father was actually going to keep the New Year with us today, but A-Niang refused. If...... If there is only A-Niang in the future, will you blame A-Niang? Su Zhenzhen asked with some apprehension.
She knew that even if the child was sensible, he would not be ten years old. Parental discord at a young age must have a bad influence on the child, and the boy always admires his father. But if Su Zhenzhen wanted to forgive Wei Han easily, Su Zhenzhen asked herself if she couldn't do it. After all, she is not a woman of three virtues and four virtues in this era, and in her world, it is the bottom line that toothbrushes and men are not used with others.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and the child stood up and kissed Su Zhenzhen on the cheek. She came back to her senses and saw the determination in the child's eyes. Heng'er knew that A-Niang had suffered a lot, and her father had done something wrong, which made A-Niang angry. Heng'er promised Aunt Jiu to listen to A-Niang's words, and also vowed to protect her mother-in-law. ”
After speaking, the child buried his head in Su Zhenzhen's arms, and his voice became more and more determined, "A-Niang is the best mother in the world." If Daddy makes his mother sad, then he doesn't want Daddy, and Heng'er will accompany his mother from now on. Su Zhenzhen thought that even if the child didn't blame herself, at least she would be depressed, but she didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing at such a young age.
Raising her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Su Zhenzhen hugged the child tighter. "My good boy, my Heng'er, A-Niang only has you. In the future, when you grow up, you meet the girl you like, marry home, and you will be good to her for the rest of your life. We must not be half-hearted, indecisive, and if we have a suspicion, it will be difficult to make up for it. ”
I don't know if I understand it, Heng'er nodded, wiped the tears on Su Zhenzhen's face again, and said softly: "A-Niang doesn't cry, let's not talk about this, let's talk about happiness." Su Zhenzhen also felt that her emotions were wrong, so she continued to tell a few stories, the child was still young, and fell asleep in Su Zhenzhen's arms halfway. Looking at the child's smiling face in her sleep, Su Zhenzhen felt that she had nothing else to ask for in this life.
A lantern had already been lit at the entrance of the county lord's mansion, and when the family saw that the carriage had stopped, they went up to greet him. Su Zhenzhen lifted the curtain and prepared to get out of the car first and then pick up the child, for fear that she would be unstable and upside down. Wei Han waited on the side for a long time, and finally waited for Su Zhenzhen at this time. Seeing Su Zhenzhen in palace clothes under the warm yellow light, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, Wei Han couldn't hold back the thoughts in her heart anymore.
Amazed, ashamed, guilty, all kinds of emotions churning in the bottom of his heart, Wei Han rushed forward in a few steps, pushed aside the family and grabbed Su Zhenzhen's wrist. "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry, I knew I was wrong." The man apologized, but Su Zhenzhen didn't feel that he really realized what he was wrong. The wrist was clamped, and Su Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows and said, "Let go!" You're hurting me! ”
Wei Han suddenly realized that he let go of his hand, but he still pulled Su Zhenzhen's sleeve and refused to leave. Su Zhenzhen sneered: "Wei Han, I only want to ask you, I have been away for these days, but you and Miss Gao still have dealings?" Wei Han knew that he was wrong, so he avoided talking about it, and only apologized vigorously and begged Su Zhenzhen to forgive him. Su Zhenzhen became more and more impatient, and she couldn't break free, so she could only frown coldly and ignore him for half a sentence.
The guards next to him also saw that Su Zhenzhen didn't like Wei Han very much, so they were very eye-catching and separated Wei Han.
Su Zhenzhen didn't plan to embarrass Wei Han too much, but walked quickly past Wei Han's side, Wei Han's eyes widened, wanting to keep Su Zhenzhen.
But when he saw those murderous guards, he cowardly withdrew his hand.
Su Zhenzhen looked back at Wei Han and didn't follow, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he walked into the county lord's mansion with the child in his arms.
The county lord had obviously arranged it in advance, and the maids and servants in the mansion were all standing neatly to greet Su Zhenzhen. After seeing Su Zhenzhen coming, they greeted her in unison.
Su Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed, and waved her hand to let them do their own things.
The maids breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then scattered.
The county lord and his wife on the other side heard the subordinates outside greeting Su Zhenzhen, and they all came out of the house with a smile to welcome Su Zhenzhen: "You are here, we are not far away."
Su Zhenzhen was a little uncomfortable by his enthusiasm, she always felt that the county lord was too enthusiastic about her, and she should not have a higher position than them, right?
Although there was some refusal in his heart, he still thanked the county lord on the surface: "The county lord is really polite, you are busy with so many things every day, how can I be embarrassed to let you come to pick it up in person."
With that, the county lord and his wife walked in with Su Zhenzhen.
And Wei Han on this side watched those guards go in around Su Zhenzhen, and tried to break in a few times, but was directly pushed out by the people at the door.
He also knew that he really didn't have a chance, and left here in disappointment.
When he returned home, Wei Han found that Gao Yeqiu was busy stir-frying vegetables in front of the pot, and he walked in as usual without noticing anything wrong.
"You're back? Sit down, the dish will be ready soon. Gao Yeqiu noticed Wei Han at the door and began to beckon him to sit down.
Wei Han sat down in a daze as Wei Han said, and asked the question in his heart: "Why did you suddenly cook?" Is it what's going on? ”
Gao Yeqiu was silent for a while when he heard Wei Han say this: "Do I rarely cook?" She didn't know exactly what she was usually doing, and she didn't have any impression.
As she spoke, she took out the vegetables in the pot and put them in front of Wei Han.
Two more bowls of rice, still steaming: "Hurry up and eat."
Wei Han took a bite of hot rice, his stomach was hot, and the unhappy things this morning were also relieved a lot.
Gao Yeqiu saw that Wei Han was happy to eat, so he handed the bowl that he hadn't moved to Wei Han: "Is it delicious?" Eat more if it's delicious. ”
Wei Han didn't notice anything abnormal, and took the meal from Gao Yeqiu's hand: "Don't you eat?"
Gao Yeqiu shook his head, and while watching Wei Han eat, he muttered beside him: "Wei Han, in fact, you are a good person, really, when I was here with you, I was very happy, and you never disliked me."
Wei Han frowned, why did he think that Gao Yeqiu's tone was wrong? The closing remarks that seem to be separated.
Gao Yeqiu continued: "In the future, you have to learn to cook more, and then, you must take care of yourself."
These words are clearly saying goodbye to him. Wei Han thought and raised his head: "Then where are you going?"
Gao Yeqiu heard him say this, and there was some joy in his heart, at least Wei Han didn't want him to leave:
"Actually, it's not about going anywhere, it's just going back to my house. Normally, you can only take care of yourself, I can't get by. ”
Wei Han pulled the meal and didn't answer her, he himself understood that Gao Mansion was Gao Yeqiu's home in the final analysis, and there were her father and her mother in it, she always came over to accompany her, and ignored her father's side and didn't talk like it.
But he really couldn't say the kind of thing that asked Gao Yeqiu to go back, so he acquiesced.
The two of them finished a long meal, and Gao Yeqiu didn't know when she had packed her things, in fact, she didn't bring much when she came here.
Wei Han sent Gao Yeqiu all the way to the gate of the Gao Mansion, and Gao Yeqiu laughed out loud: "Okay, if I let someone see you, they will come to catch you up again." You can go back first. ”
Wei Han knew that what Gao Yeqiu said was the truth, so he had to leave here.
But he silently swore in his heart that one day, he would let those people in the Gao family look up to him and really marry Gao Yeqiu home.
Gao Yeqiu watched Wei Han go away, and then went to knock on the door of the Gao family, the door of the Gao family came all of a sudden, and seeing that it was Gao Yeqiu who came back, the gatekeeper also looked behind Gao Yeqiu very seriously, for fear that Wei Han would come with Gao Yeqiu.
